(Reuters) – U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Monday the Trump administration may withhold environmental approvals for Manhattan transportation projects if New York does not end congestion pricing.
Duffy told New York Governor Kathy Hochul she must respond by May 21 and said the department could start taking actions on May 28. Hochul ignored an April 20 deadline set by Duffy in March to end the program that began in January that charges most passenger vehicles $9 during peak periods to enter Manhattan south of 60th Street.
